Thailand Paintings... Finally

So while we were in Thailand we bought these awesome elephant paintings... but to get them home we had to take them off their frame supports and roll the canvas up and put it in a shipping tube in Dericks suitcase... well the lady at the gallery took them off off packaged them up and we put them in Dericks suitcase... 

And as of yesterday there were still in the tube... BUT now that Derick is home and have been revitalized to do projects... I have like 5 going on right now... I am sure they are driving him crazy (he hates disarray) but he doesn't say anything cause he know how much I love to projectsize all over the house!

So I went to "HomeEc"the Lowes of Japan and bought wood... I then took it to the wood shop since I have no saw (except a hand saw and hell no to cutting 45 degree angles with that) and told the dude what I needed and two hours and $10 later I had all my wood cut. 

This is me assembling the frames... Derick was asleep on the couch so I had to use my feet to hold the stuff in place, it probably worked out better this way anyway... cause I got to do everything how I wanted with out his "help" ; )

I just built a frame like you see here using those little middle metel peices to support it before I screwed the wood together for real support, then I added support beam across each corner and strung and wire in the middle and stretched the canvas across....

NOW THEY ARE ON MY WALL! 

FINALLY!
